Théo Maledon: “Recognition of my work”
The leader of Asvel Théo Maledon who, like TJ Shorts with Paris, is a hit in the Euroleague for Asvel, does not take his selection for the All-Star Game as the signal of a new start, rather as confirmation that he did not waste his time in the NBA, even when he did not find his place on the floor.
“I worked when I didn't have the opportunity to playhe said. It's like recognition of my work. This allows me to show what I did in the shadows, during difficult times. I always worked hard keeping in mind that the moment I had the opportunity to show, I would take it. I was welcomed with kindness by the coaches and my teammates, who counted on me and gave me confidence. I experience all of this as something normal, in the continuity of my career. I always stayed focused on the next practice, the next match. On returning, I discovered a Championship in a positive curve, which is confirmed by the fact that we have a third team in the Euroleague, with young people in whom we trust more and more. The level is competitive, we perform in Europe. Our talents are exported higher and higher in the draft. The Young Star Game is a good initiative in this sense, a new fun event, which will also be observed by the scouts. This is all positive. »
